JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A group of veterans are seeking legal action against Jackson’s Veterans Hospital after the G.V. Sonny Montgomery Hospital decided to close its dialysis treatment center.
The lawsuit accuses the VA Hospital of violating policy. Fifty people have signed a petition to prevent the closure of the dialysis treatment center. Some veterans said it was a decision they weren’t given enough notice about, and it could put their lives in jeopardy.
“Me remaining at the VA is the best chance I have to continue my life’s existence,” said veteran Clarence Hopkins. He has been receiving dialysis treatment at the VA Hospital for about a decade.
